If you've ever doubted the corrupting influence of Hollywood, consider Ms. Nolan's career. She made her film debut in 1948 as Lady Macbeth opposite Orson Welles. Two years later, she played Ma Higgins in Saddle Tramp, and by '57, she was portraying Chottsie Gubenheimer on Wagon Train. We're not making this stuff up, folks.
Jeanette Nolan was never played in a game.
Hello?
Yeah, what?
Yeah, she was the mom on Hazel, uh-huh, so what?
What do you mean, "that's golden" ...?
That's not golden, that's dog shit.
No, we don't remember her, and we don't care, and neither does anybody else, so just forget about it.
Yeah, same to you.
Hazel . . . . What the fuck are we supposed to do with that??
